Introduction

I tried to come up with a simple raisin bread and tried this.The calories are high, I think. But I don't cut my slices too thick and get more slices than the box says, to cut back.

Ingredients

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.Measure the raisins and cinnamon into a small bowl. Add 1/4 c boiling water and stir. Let this sit for a few minutes to allow the raisins to plump up.Add Mix to beverage in a med. sized bowl. Add the raisin, cinnamon mixture.Quickly and firmly stir together for 20 to 30 seconds. Do not over mix: batter may be lumpy.Grease a 9X5 loaf pan (or two smaller pans if you want).Bake 50 to 55 minutes until loaf is golden brown and pulls away from sides. ( for smaller pans you will need to adjust the time.)This is supposed to make about 12 servings, but you can get more by slicing it thinner. I've gotten 14 servings easily for about 130 cal./slice; 16 slices equals about 114 cal./ slice.
